Can we negotiate on damage we don't see?
We are buying a house and are pretty sure there was a leak in the carpeted basement that was fixed, but the carpet is still there. I'm worried that there is mold under the carpet but won't know till we pull it up. If there is, I want them to pay for it to be replaced. How can we check without pulling it up?
